"When I did not receive the money from GiveDirectly there was a delay in my activities because of the lack of resources, but when I got the money I was able to move around doing farm activities."

"I bought a parcel of land in Zleh Town because my children go there for school purpose, they go and return during weekends; but it is a lot of burden that is why I want build a house there as my second residence. Another thing I did was to pay my children school fees because they were being put out of school every time."

"The first thing I opted to do upon withdrawing the money was to settle a debt of $44. I borrowed this money from a neighbor two weeks before receiving the transfer to settle some school fees issues for my three children who had been sent out of school for fees. I was glad that GiveDirectly enabled me to pay on time since I was still waiting for customers to buy my charcoals to pay the debt. Thereafter, I bought a sack of maize for $62 so that I could have food security at home while concentrating on other things. After that, I opted to build a house using the remaining amount of money. I opted for this because I did not have a decent house. The house I had was very small, congested, and collapsing thus it was unsafe to dwell in."

"GiveDirectly is doing well by respecting the decisions we make as to how we spend our cash."

"GiveDirectly is doing well with their Cash Transfer because without it i would have still been sleeping on a mat living in this old house without any hope of building a different one."

"GiveDirectly has done so well that i am able do things(pay my fees, cater to my family , etc) that i couldnt do which has boost my morale to a certain extent."

"GiveDirectly is giving out free cash that is enabling us to handle our lives as supposed to begging for alms or working so very hard to earn what we are getting from GD, that i must commend GD for."

"Unlike now, my family and i could only afford money for food but now, GiveDirectly has given me the opportunity of going beyond just food but exploring other means(business) through wish i can maintain cash."

"I have decided to renovate my house and buy a mattress with my most recent transfer as my house is very old and the zinc have holes in them thereby making it to leak when ever rain falls while my children mattress was very old and small,the three of them barely fitted on it."

"In the years to come i would be so happy if i would see myself alive and stronger managing my farm and yielding more produce."
